Localization note: it should be Software Centre in Canadian English, and probably every English derivate except EN-US

Confirmed that Canadian English (and probably other English localisations) should be spelt 'centre'.

Just clarifying... it should be Centre in en-GB too (but I guess you all knew that :p )

There's a small detail left for the transition, though it must be changed in ubiquity.

On the Ubiquity slideshow, "Software Store" is mentioned. I tested this with yesterday daily build of karmic.

Not fixed for en_AU. Australian English should use ‘Centre’, but unfortunately I have to look at the obnoxious ‘Center’ whenever I open my Applications menu. ;)

(I already ‘translated’ it in Rosetta, but doesn’t look like it made it in.)

Jeremy - that sounds like a separate translation bug - possibly the translation was only done as a suggestion and not approved by the en_AU team, or it was made after the deadline at 00:00 on 22 October 2009 (ref: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule). If the string has now been translated then no doubt it will be included in the first langpack update following release.

I'd suggest that you get in touch with the en_AU translation team here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTranslationTeam
